Honduras Mission 2020
Central America was devastated by two hurricanes in less than 20 days. News about this natural disaster, which left millions of victims in Honduras, Nicaragua, Guatemala, El Salvador and Costa Rica, among other countries, was eclipsed by the health crisis and mounting pressure on hospitals in Europe due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
In Honduras, the situation was particularly serious, and so, after receiving an alert from the WHO, Samu travelled to the region on 2 December with a team of 14 healthcare professionals.
